Dark mode in Mac

S.kansal · February 7, 2025

I love the dark mode of Zotero. However, I still want to read some (to many) of my PDFs as originally intended (white background, dark font). This allows for easier read of articles and figures within them. However, in the current dark mode, not only the application goes dark mode, but also the pdf reader. does anyone know the option in settings or directly in the pdf viewer to enable "light mode" in the pdf reader only when in dark mode.

Imp: in MacOs

the option to go view -> dark mode for content doesn't exist.

"Use Dark Mode for Content" is available in reader tabs, not the library tab.

Additional changes are coming in Zotero 7.1.

For me, the "Use Dark Mode for Content" option is not available in the reader tab.

@ralphjmccoy: Because you're running the beta, and it was removed, as I explain in the linked post.

Thanks @dstillman: I missed the link, but see it now.

For others as dense as me, "Use Dark Mode for Content" is now moved to the "appearance" button.
